So who is on the complete moron list so far from this thread?
The ghost of Lenny Kirk, who doesn't realize that most of his favorite skaters used to watch Koston's parts so they would know what to copy, and thinks their copying it makes Koston's parts less important.
Gnarles Manson, who is just a stupid uncreative clone, and can't back up what he was saying. The copy of goldfish I had was bought at a sketchy shop that dubbed the videos and sold them together on a tape. A visual sound and goldfish were on the same tape I bought at the time (when it came out, not after somebody told me a decade later that I should see it if I want to be cool). I wasn't disappointed with the skating or the style in goldfish at all. Guess if a skater from Goldfish or Visual Sound won skater of the year that year? It was Mike Carroll. Carroll and Koston both were easily on par style wise with the visual sound people. But you have just seen videos and read magazines that claim nobody had style until a visual sound came out. Guess what? That is a generalization about the era, not an absolute comparison. Were you there gnarles? No you weren't. Does this mean you have a worse perspective on it? Absolutely. Is it Koston's fault that every trick he does eventually gets bitten by every skater who wants to make a name for themselves? No. You don't know shit kid, its obvious when you post in this topic. Also, tell me what videos I have posted about that I haven't seen or don't know about. Shut up and stop making yourself look regular.
Briden, who compared Koston to Ronson Lambert and claimed he wasn't on anybody's top ten list. Smash your head into a brick wall until you feel liquid pouring out of it.
Also, apologies to Bandini, who gets it and should not be on the moron list.
